What all the best dressed Kindles are wearing this season - Patchy - the stashbusting Kindle cosy with a bit of a difference.

Patchy is a doubled layered cosy - for maximal protection for your Kindle - one side is made up of tiny mitered squares, the other is cosy stripes.

Using sockweight yarn from your leftovers Patchy is the ideal way to have fun with colour and also create something cute and functional.

Yes, of course you can buy a commercial Kindle case from any number of big corporations but there is something very stasifying about creating one yourself - even more so when you are making it from yarn leftover from other projects.

The case knits up very quickly - once you have done the mitered square side, the stripy liner is knit in the round so it’s ideal for travel or purse knitting.

Perfect for yourself or for gifting - ideal for the reader in your life who likes something a little bit different.

Well, why not.

Sometimes we just want a project that is simple, straightforward and fun - and I think this cute little Kindle Sock manages to be all 3.

Knit using leftover sock yarn (fingering weight), it’s ideal for playing with colour or stripes or any kind of pattern you care to think of.

Essentially it is knit as a long tube, closed at both ends, you then fold it in half to create a simple, reversible pouch. The double layer of fabric giving some handy extra protection against accidental knocks whilst in your handbag.

And even better, the fact that the tube is closed means that you don’t even have to bother sewing in your yarn ends - they will safely be tucked away inside, free from prying eyes.

Because Kindles want to be cosy too.

This reversible pouch for your Kindle e-reader is worked in scrap sock weight yarn. You can have fun with colour whilst at the same time not worrying too much about weaving in your ends - they are all fully enclosed in the finished tube and no one will ever see them.

I knit this sample using the magic loop technique but it works with any method of small circumference knitting.

This pattern is offered at an introductory price (June'25), pending further updates - for different yarn weights and charted colourwork patterns.
